Some low-income workers can get a tax break when they file their returns this year. Between ten and 20-percent of eligible taxpayers missed out on the Earned Income Tax credit last year because they didn't apply for it. Governor Quinn says that's unacceptable and urges everyone to ask if they qualify. The credit is designed to give people an incentive to work and is only available to those who are earning an income.
